Each section of Aurora has it ' s own tag word. The meaning of the word can be found in everything in its section if you look for it and think about it. The reason for this technique is to help you think about the book. Instead of flipping through, checking your portrait and chuckling at a couple shots of your friends, then shelving it until there ' s nothing better to do . . . Stop for a minute. Open to any page. Read the section title. Remember that guy? The impression he left on you? That guy had depth, insight. Timbre. Remember Ollies Follies? When your pyramid went up in six seconds and came down in two? You laughed under the weight of your friends . . . That day had thrash. Remember when you never thought you could talk to her, let alone pray with her? You were too shy and she was too different from you. Other worlds. Two textures. Two textures that meshed. Re- member? In ten years you ' ll remember. Think deeply. Apply yourself to this book — because it ' s more than a bunch of photos and words. In It ' s A Wonderful Life, Clarence the angel says, Funny, isn ' t it, how one life touches so many others? It ' s more than photos and words! It ' s a year of your life at Olivet — where you touched and were touched by so many others. Read into it whatever you want. It ' s Up To You. .-« 4 OPENING
